The Validity of an Argument: Categorical or Inductive?

Is the argument provided an example of a propositional, inductive, categorical, or argument by definition? This argument is inductive. An inductive argument is a method of cognitive reasoning in which it is considered that the given premise serves as evidence that the conclusion obtained is correct. Although the argument seems correct by logic, the conclusion obtained is not always correct.

Explanation:

The argument in question is a categorical argument known as a disjunctive syllogism, and it is valid.

This argument can be classified as a categorical argument. It follows the form of a disjunctive syllogism. The argument states that either Mike loves broccoli or he will hate the casserole.
